The Record Again.

The Rocks County Record again
comes to us having what it might
term a reply to our article ofresent-
ment of the Nicodemus Rackets. The
gentleman failed to answer the first
allegation set forth in my article,
but gives us a minute description of
my hair race and color; for which
| return many thanks; for 1t doubt
less sets at rest the many disputes,
as to what race | did belong to.
Thank you sir for your information.
The friend of the Record thought he
had mistakenly lied and would have
the manhood to apologize or retract.
But instead he adds insult to injury
by corrUborating his former asser-
tons. While in Stockton IocCRsion'
ally saw green poplar pole"
bearing the iiame of Chambers. He
l saw, made himself quite officious
and was held in utter contempt by
the business men. and might add
it was good fortune to associate with
gentlemen while in Stockton, and
of couFse he was bot admitted with
such, hence bis i'll feeling toward me.
The Record tells us that | played
The "smart aleck" buying hogs IN
Stockton after reading his articles
it is no more than | wotild expect
him to say. The deep seated pref
udice of this miserable puke would
not by any means allow him to utter
one word Of praise for negro,
though he had the tactnnd business
of Gould or Vanderbilt. Sir, if ]
had appeared ON the streets of Stock
ton as hotel porter, a boot black,
OF as monkey for the amusement of
the general public he would pot have
seer any of the chalNcteristic traits
in me of q "smart aleck," but would
have been-"he's 4 good niger"
but being in a good business avoca-
ton it was quite too much for him.
| remember certain firm, friends
of Chambers, who wrote to their
headquarters and told them "a mig
ger" was buying Hogs there, and
they answered and told the Stockton
men to mot let him have a d'-n 6ne."
but after a few weeks "bucking" and
the loss of two or three hundred
dollars on their l,aYt, they found it
not quite SO healthy and was willing
to divide; Chambers | guess were
their abbettofs.
Mr.. Chambers think. the Demo
crat is strange inedipm through
which should seth l&drrss. Well
why so, am not III american citi-
zeH, ana have no. a risht to al
peal to any one whom 1 may see tit
to advocate mv cause? and espec-
tally when 1t is trasnpled upon by
black hearted Republican. Sir, |
have rs many warm friends among
the Democrats as among Republi-
cans, and especially suth IKE your
self. YUu must understand that the
negro Is free to act and 40 ~ suits
him best and If Ire. fihdsh Democrat
more favorable TO hftn tan a Re
publican, it is their futy to accept
him over and above by one else.
| will TIL Republican, that he has
basely lied as soon as 4 Democrat,
so, sir, you need net attempt TO
screen yourself behind the Ropubi-
can party. You coward, IL this your
way to gain sympathy? Repubh-
cans like Chambers always curse the
Negro when He finds be thinks for
himself and does not mlow thcrn to
dictate to him. The Negro of this
age Is not a Republican for some
thing that happened three decades
a1o, bjfi on living ESTES Of to-day.
How lnuch10keer are y0u going to
1ep up that old whoop Of SLAYER =
long ago it has become offensive TO
our ear, don't you know nothing else
